For a number of years the problem o f restoring the value o f the
existing building substance has been occupying a very important
place in spatial planning o f Emilia-Romania region. A physical
expansion o f Bologne was not accompanied by a trend to increase
the population settled there, or to improve urban standards. In
this context, it wa9 found necessary to try to solve problems involved
in search for improved quality o f urban life within the
boundaries o f the town itself. A process o f restoring available
building resources is carried out under the supervision o f town
administrative authorities by means o f different executive methods
depending on characteristics o f the environment and structure
o f three territorial layers that can be distinguished in the existing
town tissue:
— preindustrial towns (town historic complex),
— the area built between the 19th and mid-20th cent.,
— the area built in the latest thirty years, solely on the initiative
o f private persons with some support from the state.
The basis for restoration works in the town historic complex of
Bologna was provided by a regulating plan approved by the Municipal
Council o f Bologna in 1969. In the year o f 1973 the Council
approved the plan o f economical social building for the town
historic complex (the so-called PEEP — Centro Storico), conceived
as an element integrating building plans for outer town
districts, currently under way. Synthetically, individual working
stages o f the PEEP — Centro Storico plan can be defined as given
below :
— establishing o f work sections, i.e. minimum urban units,
— initial distribution o f temporary (parcheggio) or rotary (di
rotazione) flats within the historic complex,
— restoration o f public-owned or newly-bought buildings,
— social control over building resources, privately-owned on
the basis o f agreement, and in exceptional cases, even through
expropriation.
By January 1977 the execution o f the PEEP — Centro Storico was
as follows: — from autumn 1973, i.e. over a period o f 1.000 days,
220 flats for 800 people were put to use or were at a final stage.
It was also envisaged to make instructions for further 200 flats,
provided that necessary financial means were available. These
data showed that a motor which was to bring the plan to life was
put into operation and that it started functioning on a full scale
There appwared, however, some difficulties which brought about
a twoyear-delay in the adopted program o f work in comparison
with initial targets.
Along with the execution o f targets aimed at modernizing the
flats, works are also carried out to improve services for the population.
Already a regulating plan o f 1969 selected from the Bologna
municipal complex some architectonic space (contenitori) for
restoring and its use for some sort o f social activities. In January
1977, works were completed on 3.000 square metres o f „contenitori”
appropriated for social and cultural activities. Restoration
works undertaken in the historic centre o f the town allow for
a rebirth o f a housing function in this region, and an improvement
in social and economic structure within the old-town complex;
in the same way they should contribute to more uniform development
o f the whole town and region.
